Praise to God

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 
“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” 
“Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?” 
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.”
Romans 11:33-36
Here we see in a few short words Paul giving praise to God. Do you ever take time to praise God outside of Church.
Do you praise God even if it doesn’t seem like He gave you anything on any given day.
Paul went through a lot as he ministered God’s word around the world. Yet he could even find time to praise God in a prison cell. Could you have done so in such a situation?
Psalm 150 states,
“Praise the LORD. 
Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 
praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, 
praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the Lord.”
Sadly all to many Christians don’t take time to praise God. They listen to Christian music but they themselves don’t utter a word of praise to God.
We here in North America are blessed with wonderful freedoms yet how many of us actually praise and thank God for those freedoms?
Why not take five or ten or fifteen minutes each day to praise God.
Think about it.
